My dining this week was interrupted by a family trip to Branson, Missouri, which I wrote about on Tuesday. Not much photogenic (or palatable) food in that part of the world. However, sandwiched in between was a great BLT on my late arrival home, plus some excellent food in San Francisco and Healdsburg.

Photo #1: The bone marrow ($12) at Abbot’s Cellarin the Mission resembles a prehistoric landscape, what with the big bone in the middle, surrounded by the feathery greens, mustard seeds and the house-made pastrami.

#2: I made my final visit to Campo Finain Healdsburg, sitting outside while a bocce game was going on at the rear of the patio. I was more intent on what was coming out of the free-standing oven — a Margherita ($13.50) with a wash of tangy tomato sauce, puddles of mozzarella, delicate leaves of basil and splashes of golden olive oil, all in a nicely blistered crust. The pizza is first-rate.

#3: I wrote about the exceptional hamburger ($15.50) at Boulevard on Wednesday, but I wanted to single out the French fries that come with them. I knew immediately they were fried in rice bran oil which has a clean flavor that lets the character of the potato shine through the glass-like crust. What I didn’t know before talking to the chef is that the potatoes start out frozen. No matter; they are fried twice and dusted with potato flour in between, which produces those raised crunchy dots that make them even better.
